Looks like an orinary universal LNB will work with it. Not sure how it would fit on exactly though.

Maybe that is the original feed horn attached? If so then a C120 lnb will just bolt on.

Not sure what that dish is like, maybe its a re-badged dish.

hello lads again got a few more pictures of the lnb holder and lnb itself.the diameter inside the the lnb holder is roughly about 60mm

that is an old lnb and feed!

I think your better off trying to get an lnb-f to fit somehow.

Unless you know the focal point of the dish, then try and get the best matched feed horn and C120 lnb.

There are formula's available on how to work out your focal distance, try and google it.

But try a good lnb-f first
